the queen mary's interesting i suppose.....but santa monica's not that far away and i would just drive over there....much more interesting....or are you talking about MPs and strip clubs?
Santa Monica is good to walk around but beware of car thieves. Had our rental stolen from very busy street in plain view year ago. S.M. cops looked more like Fancy security guards with pressed uniforms, station was unreal clean and neat, unlike T.O. stations.
If you get a chance, take a walk around Newport Beach. Too bad it's off-season for rollar bladers, bikinis and Volleyball pick-ups so fewer eye-candy.
If interested in Sushi buffet, look for the chain Todai, literally "to die" for me the amount of sushi I consumed in 1 sitting.
Hwy 1 north is definitely the best experience if you have the time.
